a9. The Safe Dam Act grants the Department jurisdiction over dams within the pinelands region that meet the following requirements: dam height greater than eight (8) feet, reservoir greater than 100 acres in area or contributing drainage area exceeding 1 square mile. However, the Department does not regulate any dam used for agricultural purposes within the special agricultural production area (SA) within the pinelands region. Please contact this office if you are unsure whether or not a dam meets these specifications.
